Introduction

Built on the state-of-the-art AngularJS framework, LiveCom for WordPress is a powerful, flexible and highly customizable, premium live blogging plugin. Whether you are attending a conference, watching a football game, or at the red carpet of a movie premiere, LiveCom is the perfect tool to broadcast live text on your WordPress Website and share a real time experience with your visitors.

How it Works

Thanks to its intuitive workflow and rich features, LiveCom makes covering events live on your WordPress website a very easy process which can be divided into three major steps:

Create a LiveCom Event : A one-click step done through the LiveCom backend.

Link Event to WordPress Content : You simply add a shortcode linking your event to a WordPress post or page and you are ready to broadcast! Inserting LiveCom shortcodes is easily done thanks to the LiveCom TinyMCE Plugin.

Broadcast Live Comments : Once the event is linked to your WordPress post or page you can start broadcasting your live comments instantly on the Event Management Page!

Features

Intuitive Event and Comment Management : LiveCom has a top notch administration panel with some very cool features (for instance: inline comment editing) where you can easily manage all of your events and broadcast live text.

Multi-User Collaboration : Work closely with your colleagues in real time to cover your events. You will be notified instantly of every action that they do.

Notifications System :
You are notified of everything that happens on the server side when you are liveblogging!

Easily Customizable :
LiveCom for WordPress comes with FOUR Templates that are very easy to customize. You can also easily create your own Templates!

Media Embedding :
You can embed Images, HTML Videos, HTML Audio, Youtube & Vimeo videos and Tweets in your live comments. Head over to Youtube for a preview of the Media Embedding feature : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e78pwbjWL3k

Social Networks Autoposting : Live comments can be automatically posted to pre-configured Facebook pages/profiles or Twitter feeds.

Beautiful & Sleek Animations :
You can choose between 5 Animations to show the live comments on your WordPress frontend!

TinyMCE Integration :
A LiveCom Dialog is added to the TinyMCE Visual editor that comes with WordPress. Through it you can easily link LiveCom Events to your WordPress posts and pages.

Flexible Configuration : Take control over the behaviour of LiveCom. Configure the application for optimal use of your server resources.

Automatic Behaviour : Did you forget to archive an event before going off to bed and are worried that your bandwidth will be needlessly wasted? Worry no more! You can choose to enable the Autopause and Autoend features on your settings page, both of which will take care of pausing and archiving your events for you after a configurable idle delay.

Highly Optimized : The LiveCom Service is optimized to use the least amount of server resources and have a very low execution time.

Cross-Browser Compatibiliy : LiveCom for WordPress works on all of the new major browsers! (IE7+, FireFox 4+, Chrome, Safari, Opera)

SEO Friendly & Graceful javascript degradation : Users with no javascript support, and search engine spiders will see the archived version of the live comments.
